To solve the equation \(15w + 3w + 19 = -17\), let's first combine like terms on the left side:

\[
15w + 3w = 18w
\]

So the equation becomes:

\[
18w + 19 = -17
\]

Next, subtract 19 from both sides:

\[
18w = -17 - 19
\]

Calculating the right side:

\[
-17 - 19 = -36
\]

Thus, we have:

\[
18w = -36
\]

Now, divide both sides by 18:

\[
w = \frac{-36}{18} = -2
\]

Therefore, the solution is:

\[
\boxed{w = -2}
\]

To simplify the expression \((6x−10)−(2x+12)\), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the negative sign through the second set of parentheses:

\[
(6x - 10) - (2x + 12) = 6x - 10 - 2x - 12
\]

2. Now combine like terms. Start with the \(x\) terms:

\[
6x - 2x = 4x
\]

3. Now combine the constant terms:

\[
-10 - 12 = -22
\]

4. Putting it all together:

\[
4x - 22
\]

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

\[
\boxed{4x - 22}
\]
